The first to criticize Rousseau were his fellow philosophers, and above all, Creator/{{Voltaire}}. According to Jacques Barzun, Voltaire, who had felt annoyed by the essay ''On the Arts and Sciences'', was outraged by ''Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men'', declaring that “Rousseau wanted us to walk on all fours” like animals and behave like savages, believing them creatures of perfection. From these inexact interpretations spring the clichés "NobleSavage" and "State of Nature". Rousseau also had to face harsh censorship and open attacks of other philosophers in France and Geneva, to the point of risking his liberty and life. His protectors helped him to get his banned books (published in Holland by Marc-Michel Rey) distributed in France disguised as other works, using false covers and title pages. Most of his works afetr 1770 were published posthumously.

TropeNamer for RousseauWasRight.

Rousseau's novel ''Émile, or On Education'' is a treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel ''Julie, or the New Heloise'' was of importance to the development of pre-romanticism and {{romanticism}} in fiction. His autobiographical writings, ''The Confessions'', which initiated the modern autobiography, and his ''Reveries of a Solitary Walker'' exemplified the late 18th century movement known as the Age of Sensibility, and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing. His ''Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men'' and his ''On the Social Contract'' are cornerstones in modern political and social thought.
